About Ashdown Oriental

On Ashdown Rd in Eastleigh, Ashdown Oriental is a Chinese takeaway with a menu that runs to 306 dishes. Crispy Aromatic Duck and Crispy Aromatic Mongolian Lamb sit alongside Crispy Duck In Honey Sauce and a vegetarian crispy duck option, with crispy duck rolls also on the list. The wider menu covers sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour chicken, special fried rice in dry and Singapore styles, and salt and pepper dishes such as squid and a salt and pepper box. It opens evenings only across the week, closing on Tuesdays, and reservations are required. The range of crispy duck and lamb preparations gives the menu a broader spread than a typical takeaway list, alongside the more familiar sweet and sour and salt and pepper staples of the format.

Customer Review Summary

Sweet and sour dishes draw the most praise, with reviewers singling out both the Sweet and Sour Pork and a Sweet and Sour Chicken described as tender with a light, crispy coating and a balanced sauce. Close behind, several mention the Chicken Curry with Mushrooms as a standout, alongside the Singapore Special Fried Rice, a salt and pepper box, and the Magic Chop Kara, with one reviewer noting the meat stayed tender without excess MSG. Several describe the food as reasonably priced and ready on time, with one suggesting the dry special fried rice and Sichuan-style dishes for those who like it spicy.

“The Magic Chop Kara was excellent. All of the dishes we had were good, not too much MSG, plenty of veg and the meat was tender and tasty. Will be back soon.”

“Recently heard there's a new Head Chef in the kitchen and wanted to give it a try... Wow ! The food is really really good 👍 Updated 28/07/2025 Honestly, been back to Ashdown Take Away for a couple of times since I wrote my last review, the food is getting better and better ! I had Chicken Curry with Mushrooms this evening and it was absolutely gorgeous ! Well-done chef 👨‍🍳 👍🏼 My son had the Beef with Green Pepper & Black Bean Sauce, had a small bite and that was excellent too ! But my son refused to share the rest 🫩 We also ordered Sweet and Sour Pork with Chips and Mini Spring Rolls for my son's GF...can't go wrong with Sweet and Sour ! Enjoyed our meal very much. 10/10 Highly Recommemded 👍🏼🤩👍🏼 Photo 1: Salt and Pepper Squid Photo 2: Sweet & Sour Pork and Special Fried Rice Photo 3: Beef with Green Pepper & Black Bean Sauce Photo 4: THE BEST - Chicken Curry 😍👍🏼 Photo 5: My 2nd Best - Sweet & Sour Pork Photo 6: Sweet Sour Spare Ribs 😋”

“Reasonable price, food were prepared on time. Recommend dry special fried rice, n Sichuan style dishes if you can eat slightly spicy food. Going to try other dishes next time.”

“I recently tried a dish called (Sweet and Sour Chicken), and it was a delightful surprise. The chicken was tender on the inside with a light, crispy coating that held up well under the sweet and tangy sauce. The sauce itself had a balanced flavor. A classic Chinese comfort food that I would definitely order again. This is the best Chinese take away I've tried in Chandler's Ford.”

“Thought we would try this place. What a mistake. The most awful food. Chips seemed to be old and re cooked. Rice tasteless. Curry congealed and horrid. Noodles like rubber and crispy chilli beef tasted of vinegar. We wished we have just taken it back and got refunded. Please avoid and this place needs to sort itself out. Horrible”
